Questions to ask before hiring a facility asset management consultant

Your facilities are essential to your business operations. Keeping them running smoothly and efficiently is paramount. That’s where a facility asset management consultant can come in. But with so many consultants out there, how do you choose the right one for your needs?

Choosing the right facility asset management consultant can be tough.

But by asking these 5 key questions to ask before hiring a facility asset management consultant, you can narrow down your options and find the perfect fit for your business.

  1. Experience. What is their experience evaluating similar facilities? (number of facilities, square footage, type of facilities, industry, etc.)
  2. Project Approach. Will they customize their approach for you or do they use a one-size-fits all approach? You deserve a plan that addresses your specific challenges and goals.
  3.  Collaboration. Will they collaborate with you and your team throughout the project? Effective communication and collaboration are crucial for success.
  4. Deliverables. Do their deliverables include clear, actionable information with prioritized findings? You need insights that translate directly into operational improvements.
  5. Support. Are they committed to your success beyond the project completion? Will they hold your hand throughout the project and stay with you even when the project is over? Or will they walk away at the end?

 

By taking the time in asking these questions before you hire a facility asset management consultant, you’ll be able to select the ideal facility asset management consultant who empowers you to optimize your facilities and pave the way for increase efficiencies. Remember, your facilities are the foundation of your operations – choose wisely!
